Tokyo Joe article
There is a modern telling of the story of a Japanese gangster by the name of "Tokyo Joe" that was made in 2008. In anticipation of an article on the film in the future, I differentiated the earlier 1949 production. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC).
Ukrainian scouting
Hi Chris,
Sorry for replying so late - I've been on some cycling trips with the wife, which brought me into areas with patchy to non-existent OSM coverage, so I've been working on OSM - reviewing GPS and video data etc.
Tomorrow's the last day of my holiday, so I'll see how far I get with the Ukrainian scout logos, but they all some of them look doable. Just keep bugging me and I'll get around to the Ruthenian logo, the YMCA logo and maybe later the Luhansk logo. --Slashme (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- I've done the truncated logo. It seem from their flag and the patches that I could see on LiveJournal that the "shiny look" of the jpg logo isn't part of the actual logo, but an embellishment, so I left it out. --Slashme (talk) 15:39, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey Chris, sorry for huge delays in your image requests. I've been extremely busy and had time to do only small things. Anyways, I came across File:Asociación de Guías de Cuba.png and was wondering what needs to be blue and orange. I have an SVG made ready to be colored. Also, I'm unable to transfer the images back to Wikipedia. You need a fair use rational and upload them here the same as you would with other images. --ZooFari 02:59, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hawaii
Chris, this is not haw.wikipedia.org. In the same way when I go to the article on Moscow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow) the native Cyrillic (Москва) spelling is used once (for reference) and then Moscow is spelled in English for the rest of the article, this goes with neither every other article where the names of the location are spelled in the language that article is geared towards. By spelling Hawaii in HAWAI'IAN you are adding inconstancy to wikipedia and this goes against the style guide which requires wiki to be neutral. The State of Hawaii was incorporated into the USA with its English spelling, not its Hawai'ian. If you find this to be vandalizing I suggest you change the other 99% of en.wikipedia.org (to include any of Japan) and spell all cities, places, locations in their native language to be neutral. I have no problem if you wish to write the the same page in Hawai'ian on haw.wikipedia.org but as I said, this is en.wikipedia.org. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28use_English%29, especially paragraph number four 81.187.27.117 (talk) 14:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- It wasn't the macronization I was objecting to, it was removal of a large portion of text related to a sitting president, thus of interest in a very small article. I removed the hagiography. You would have more clout for your changes if you register or sign in. IPs who remove chunks look like vandals and POV pushers. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

re: fact tag at Lincoln Park High School (Chicago, Illinois)
こんにちは (I hope I have that correct)
I recently noted that you added a fact tag to this article, specifically to the sentence claiming that this school is located in Chicago. I use citation tags constantly, normally to tag extraordinary claims or claims that appear to be dubious. This was the first time that I saw a citation request for information that (from my perspective) did not give the appearance to be dubious or controversial. However, I admit it is possible that I am misinterpreting what you are requesting. Could you please clarify what you would like to have confirmed by citation, and I will do my best to find a reliable source to confirm this.

"history merge"
I would have shown you the page about history merging, but I noticed that you aren't an admin, so you can't follow any of the instructions there. :-) It's only for fixing cut-and-paste moves, and articles that are merged (in the normal sense of the word) shouldn't be history merged, especially if there are lots of overlapping edits. When you're doing a straight merge of an article, it's sufficient to say "merging text to/from <article name>" in the edit summary. Having said that, I'd be happy to check out any of the pages you wanted history merged. Graham87 11:36, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Scouting and Guiding in small islands in Oceania
Hi Chris, it is good that you have moved the Tokelau and Niue articles to Scouting and Guiding in Tokelau and Scouting and Guiding on Niue. I have been looking at these myself and was going to do the move if I could find some information on Guides. These articles are totally unsourced. I have looked hard and I can find no source that Scouting and Guiding on these islands is run by the New Zealand associations. There is no mention on their web sites. I have no evidence that Scouting and Guiding even currently exists on these Islands. The same goes for other Islands. The Scouting and Guiding in Oceania template points Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island to Scouting and Guiding in Australia, but that article does not mention them. There is a mention on Scouts Australia and there should perhaps be one on Girl Guides Australia. However, I am fairly sure that there are no Scouts or Guides currently on these islands. Another case is Pitcairn Islands where the template points to The Scout Association but that article in this section does not explicitly mention Pitcairn Island. I am not sure again whether there are actually Scouts or Guides there. It is a worthy aim to comprehensively cover Scouting and Guiding everywhere, but we are floundering around with no sources. We need to address these issues. The hard line would be to delete all articles and links from the template in cases where we have no sources. If we can find poor sources that indicate the connection to Australia, New Zealand or UK, the links should point there, but the Tokelau and Niue articles should be redirects. Where is the best place to discuss these issues? Should I move this discussion to the Scouting Project talk page? --Bduke (Discussion) 21:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Starfleet insignia
Chris, even if he did make them himself, that only makes them derivative works and still non-free. You can't sneak round copyright merely by copying a copyrighted item or image yourself (for obvious reasons). BTW, I do apologise if my previous edit summaries came off as snarky, I do have a tendency to be a bit grumpy about that sort of thing. Cheers, Black Kite 22:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
- All right, why do we keep going through these edit wars on the Starfleet ranks every few months. Can you someone show me anywhere that the items in these images are copyrighted? Can you both help me find a way to make this right so that the article can have some images in it? Thanks! --Flans44 (talk) 05:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

GG badge images
Could you point me in the direction of an image where I can see what the trefoil 'spine' looks like so I can replicate it better. The 3rd hand dodgy trace was why I thought it was a cross that hadn't been traced well. With the manual retrace I did it's far easier for me to change separate components now. Once I know what it looks like properly I'll be able to replicate it better. What I'll do as well is when I've finished I'll upload a 'blank' so it can be used and adapted by someone else if you come up with any more. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:09, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipe-tan
I've amended the file as you suggested, and in case you feel you have to step warily, no you don't :). I don't know the subject matter and you've only given a vague description of what you need so I have no problem incorporating changes. As an FYI, my usual method in the real world is to give a client, initially, my understanding of what they want, the process moves on from there with the end result rarely looking like my initial attempt. So I'm all for hearing your views on what it is you want. If I can do it I will, if I can't I'll tell you and if I disagree I'll tell you. What you should know is that, considering I'm a designer, I can't draw worth s**t! So usually I make do with cannibalising more creative artist's work and adding my basic art to make a composite. Anway, I've made the changes and made an alternative. Over to you :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Some are really large in area but underpopulated (Hokkaido, Shimane... like Montana or Saskatchewan, some are really small but densely populated (Kagawa, where I live, is the smallest prefecture but has a million people).

4th World Scout Jamboree Image tag issue
- Chris, take a look now. I think I've fixed the issue with the purpose statement in the fair use rationale. Something changed in the software and the older form of the "log fur" tag is now not showing the 'purpose' statement. I replaced both the tags with one using what must be a newer design. If you think it needs two tags, you might use the new "log fur" tag I used as a guide and add another. I had three notices from Melesse on images I had uploaded a while ago and I found that replacing the tags fixed the "purposes" statement issue.Geoff Who, me? 12:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

- I read it, I understood it though it is a policy I disagree with, I got it, there was nothing to respond to. I don't have to answer or justify every whine that gets posted on my page, nor do I have to answer when a user gets butthurt and posts an ANI about me for a simple removal on my own talkpage. Anyone who comes here sees that at the top. Some users I just get a vibe about, and my hunches usually prove correct. I don't have the time, I'm busy doing other things, say for instance, writing articles, cleaning up after vandalism, working for a living, having a real life...
- That being said, I've worked with you many times before, I like and respect you, so I do owe you a note explaining why I don't owe a note elsewhere.

SA Scout logo
Hi, just to let you know that I would like to remove Image:South_African_Scout_Association_2009.png which you uploaded for inclusion on the South African Scout Association page. I hope I can provide some context that will convince you to remove it. I was at one point closely involved in the discussions around the emblem (email me if you would like me to give specific details of my role - I prefer not to post them here). This logo was created by a website called ScoutWeb South Africa, which was the main Scouting website in South Africa at the time, but was initially not official, and had its own branding. Eventually the site became official and was rebranded with the official South African Scout Association logo. Since it was never the official (or even unofficial) national logo of the South African Scout Association, its relevance is questionable, and it also fails the fair use criteria for a Scout Association logo, which says "The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing South African Scout Association, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey." None of that is accurate. I hope that this will be enough to persuade you? Zaian (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

AIV
Hi Chris. Thanks for helping to fight vandalism here at Wikipedia. However, I notice that several of the recent reports you have made at WP:AIV have been declined. Please be sure that there is recent activity from the IP and that they have been warned before you report them. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
We are the Pink School
Hi Kintetsu. I noticed your edit on Sexy Battle Girls (Surprise! That's on my watchlist!) I'm not so sure that "We are the Pink School" is not notable. I've come across the name quite a bit in my readings, but I haven't really looked into it to see what exactly it is. I think Jasper Sharp may have something to say about it in his book on Pink film. I'll check it, and see if I can establish a few notices of the event by reliable secondary sources. If so, hope you don't mind if I put it back in. (I doubt I'll be starting an article on it soon, but I suspect it may have "notability" enough to support one.) Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 16:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- No problem-- I'll check your concerns anyway. At least we'll get a citation explaining what it is... The caps thing-- that's a Japanese/English deal. I'll fix them when I restore it. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 17:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well, there's another problem with it: Even without looking through the Sharp book I find enough, I think, to source "We Are the Pink School"'s notability. Problem is, I can't find a reliable mention of this film being shown at the event... The editor who put it in originally is Japanese and works for the US company which released the film on DVD here, so I don't doubt it is true. But I can't even see it mentioned on the DVD cover, so I guess we'll just leave it out for now. Even without the showing at the event, the film's "notability" will be easy enough to prove if it ever gets challenged... How has Takamatsu been treating you? Dekkappai (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Ah... Seoul, Pusan, Kyeongju, Buyeo, Kongju... ;-) I lived in Korea, but visited Japan when I could-- Tokyo, Fukuoka... Would love to live there some day, but that's out of the question at least until our son is grown. My wife's a very Japan-friendly Korean, so she's all for living there some day too. Maybe... Very glad to hear you're having a good experience there-- I remember recommending Gaijin Pot (or whatever it's called) to you when you were trying to get there. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 00:32, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Right. Working at the eikaiwa (hagwon in Korea) is always risky, but it's a way to live in the counry. And I had a few bad experience with individual Koreans there, but I wouldn't judge my opinion of the whole country based on those-- I'd have to forget all the extreme kindness and generosity I encountered there too to do that... I find "Japan-friendly Korean" usually means a Korean who has actually met a Japanese person or two, as opposed to having just learned about them from the movies, history books, and assorted propaganda ;) College-aged idealists were the worst Japan-haters, the older people I met, who actually lived under the occupation had a more realistic "some good/some bad" attitude, and were always happy to practice Japanese with a foreigner... My wife's family had contact with Japan even when the relations were officially "closed". Dekkappai (talk) 02:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

DIRTY WAR IN ARGENTINA
You seem to be fair-minded and I hope I don't have a warped sense of history. But as far as I can see, the ultra-left launched a major bombing campaign in Argentina, that would not go unnoticed in today's media. Some important wikipedia administrator has taking an instant dislike to me. I hope you can help. --Carnevaron (talk) 09:23, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I'll get your X taken away! *shakes fist*
Just kidding :-) Hey, I was wondering about the content from Aeon (eikaiwa) and GEOS (eikaiwa) that is duplicated across the Kiyoshi Aki and Tsuneo Kusunoki articles -- specifically, the paragraphs describing the history of AMVIC and the split into two companies. Do you think it would be more consistent to keep the text in the school articles, and then in the personal articles, replace it with one of those "See xxx" links? It would make it easier to keep it consistent when things change. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 01:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Like!
This may be stolen, but it's still jolly good, and should be read out loud at least once before breakfast by all Wikipedians. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I particularly liked the line on humour (oh, alright, humor, if you insist!) which I think is just around where one of my earlier manifestations started to part company with the consensus and become a touch more D, B and K!

Thanks for deleting a BLP vio here. If you wonder why your edits have disappeared, it's because I deleted the page and restored it without that whole sequence of edits, so that the personal information is no longer visible even in the history. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Chris, I've noticed a couple of your AIV reports on IP vandals where the IP has had no warnings in a long time, and also that you report them as IP only accounts. IP addresses can't be vandal-only accounts by definition, and don't get blocked as such, and the warnings have to be recent (the one you reported above was last warned April 6). Just for your into. Regards, SGGH ping! 14:43, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
I would ask that you revisit the article Yō Takeyama and share whether or not you feel the article being turned from this to THIS has addressed your concerns as nominator. Thank you. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:54, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

A report on the current situation and possible perspectives was published by the Europe region of WOSM [2]. The report mentions at least five different organizations:
- Kosovo Scout Association
- Kosovo Scout Federation
- Qendra Nacionale e Vëzhguesve të Kosovës (National Scout Center of Kosovo)
- Savez Izviđača Kosova i Metohije
- Scouts of Kosovo

Politics of Bihar
Good afternoon. I closed the AFD for this redirect on a procedural basis, since redirects are usually best discussed at Redirects for Discussion. For your convenience, though, I went ahead and nominated the redirect on your behalf, copying your original rationale; the new debate may be found at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 May 24#Politics of Bihar. Please let me know if I screwed something up. Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I've only blocked the latest of the block-evading IPs, it's unlikely that he will return to any of his prior IPs. I would recommend that you request semi protection of the related articles if he returns.
Thanks, Amalthea 08:30, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- Please discuss this at Template talk:The Fast and the Furious. Edit warring over it doesn't help, and it's not that the IP doesn't have a point with the character relationship. Question is whether a link in the navbox is undue. Amalthea 08:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
